Poco a Poco
Eskorzo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Me siento en el sofá
mirándome los pies,
soy otro ser humano preguntándose kien es...
Ke, ke ke cosas hago bien
Ke cosas hago mal
planteándome cuestiones
ke nunca contestaré.
poco a poco poco poco a poco
más me busco y más me pierdo
poco a poco poco poco a poco (2)
No creo en el destino
sí, en la casualidad
infinitas soluciones
la ecuación universal,
dignificar el camino no significa paz
Ke no hay hombre más pérdido
kel ke sabe dónde está.
Me siento en el sofá
mirándome los pies,
soy otro ser humano preguntándose kien es...
ke cosas hago mal,
ke cosas hago bien,
planteándome cuestiones
que nunca contestaré
Y así va pasando el tiempo
poco a poco, poco poco a poco
más me busco, más me pierdo.
poco a poco, poco poco a poco
The song Poco A Poco by Eskorzo is a reflective piece that delves into the human experience of self-discovery and the constant questioning of one's purpose in life. The opening verses feature the singer, sitting on a sofa, gazing at his feet and questioning his identity - who is he, what is he good or bad at, and what is the purpose of his existence. Through this, Eskorzo portrays the universal struggle of finding oneself, and the constant journey of self-exploration and understanding.
The repetition of the phrase "poco a poco" throughout the song highlights the idea of slow and gradual progress towards self-awareness. The chorus emphasizes this further, with the lyrics suggesting that as time passes, he becomes more lost in the process of self-exploration despite his continuous search for answers. The lyrics suggest that the answers may never be found with certainty and that the human experience of self-discovery is an ongoing journey of questioning, reflection, and growth.
The song also delves into the idea of destiny and chance. The singer does not believe in destiny but acknowledges the role of chance in life. The lyrics suggest that there are infinite solutions to life's problems, and there may not be a set path for each individual. The final verses discuss the need to dignify the journey, even when there is no clarity or peace, highlighting the importance of appreciating the process rather than focusing solely on the destination.
Overall, Poco A Poco is a song that explores the human experience of questioning one's purpose in life and the ongoing journey of self-exploration and understanding.
